On October 2, 2026 Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin return with “ Bash ” , the first single from their self-titled sophomore album, due December 18, 2026  through Black Throne Productions. The new material brings the band’s reverb-heavy guitars and desert-road songwriting back into focus after more than five years away from their debut album “Misty Woman”.

Pre-orders for both the new album and the third repress of “Misty Woman” will open alongside the single.

The band’s sound sits somewhere between the open-road guitar work of The Ventures, the heavier side of Dead Meadow and the blues-inspired approach of All Them Witches. Spring reverb, roomy drums and guitars that leave some air around the notes are central to ACC’s formula. The surf-inspired songs are built for long drives, empty roads and getting away from town for a while.

Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin was formed in 2017 by Brennan Justice, Anthony DeFreitas and Jeremy Luvaas. After releasing Misty Woman, the three members dispersed and did not see each other face-to-face for more than five years. The band returned in late 2025 with their first repressing of “ Misty Woman”  through Black Throne Productions. The first repress sold out, leading to two additional vinyl runs and the first ever pressing of Mud Room #13 which included a previously unreleased bonus track “Narwhal”.

The new album was recorded and mixed by Brennan Justice at Camp Verde, Arizona, with mastering handled by JJ Golden. Its Southwestern setting is fitting for a band whose music has always been tied to California coastlines, desert roads, mountains and summer heat.

The band has already taken its music well outside Southern California. Their catalog has appeared in Shameless, Thrasher and Flip Skateboards projects, Vans-related events, several mountain-bike films and a placement in commercials for Indian Motorcycles. Additionally, Mud Room #13 was named one of El Coyote’s top EPs of 2019.

“ Bash “ arrives October 2, 2026 along with both pre-orders for the self-titled album and the third pressing of “ Misty Woman”.

For fans of: All Them Witches, The Ventures, Dead Meadow

BIO:

Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin is a San Diego-based psychedelic desert rock trio whose music blends reverb-soaked guitars, haunting melodies, and heavy blues-driven rhythms into a sound that evokes the dark California desert on a warm summer night. Formed in 2017 by Brennan Justice (guitar, lead vocals), Anthony DeFreitas (bass, vocals), and Jeremy Luvaas (drums, percussion), the band creates cinematic rock inspired by dusty highways, coastal sunsets, and the surreal landscapes of the American Southwest. Their name originated from a fictional 1970s murder mystery imagined during a late-night conversation, capturing the strange, mysterious, and heavy character that continues to define the band.

Emerging from the remnants of a surf-rock project, Justice and DeFreitas began recording in a San Diego garage with minimal equipment and a raw, lo-fi approach that prioritized creativity over polished production. Early releases including Cabin Fever and Mud Room #13 helped establish a sound influenced by Dead Meadow, The Ventures, and All Them Witches. With Luvaas joining on drums, the band's sound expanded into what would become its debut full-length, Misty Woman, recorded in Austin, Texas at Electric Deluxe Recorders with producer Adrian Quesada.

Now, Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin returns with its self-titled sophomore full-length album - the band's first full release of new music since Misty Woman in February 2020. Self-recorded by Brennan Justice in Camp Verde, Arizona and mastered by JJ Golden, the album is deeply rooted in the band's desert-rock identity while showcasing the melodic, cinematic, surf-influenced qualities that give Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin an audience beyond traditional heavy psych. The new record marks a long-awaited return fueled by continued demand from the band's worldwide fanbase.
